AFTERNOON SESSION.
After the noon recess, upon the re-
quest of the defendants attorney the
shorthand reporter read the concluding
questions aud answers of the morning
session. Mr., Gage then withdrew the
last question and asked Petrie whether
he had feeling that he had rather not
answer the question. Petrie answered
that he would rather not.
Mr.. Gage then asked whether or not
Petrie had not told the District Attorney
that he had been intimate with Mrs Ro-
| zelle.
The District Attorney then objected
to the question on the ground that the
answer sought was not proper cross.ex-
animation, and that what witness had
said to the District Attorney was in
confidence and could not be brought
out. This objection was argued at
length, Mr.. Gage holding that the Dis.
trict Attorney was not the attorney for
Petrie and that if necessary the District
Attorney could be placed on the stand.
Justice Austin sustained the objection,
and Mr.. Gage asked the same question
for the purpose of impeaching the
| witness. Objected to and sustained.
| Witness testified that he had seen
Mrs. kozelle in the hallway on the 10Th
| day of April, when she was going for a
pitcher of water. He was a married
man and had been married two years. His
wife was not living with min at the time,
and was not roomiDg at the house at the
time. He did not know where she was
| rooming Mrs. Rozslle was rooming at
l29 College street. He had met Mrs.
Rozelle before the 10Th of April at the
house and at other places. He met her
in December the. first time, at the house.
He passed her in the hall. He had met
Mrs. Martin in December also. After
that he had met Mrs. Rozelle thousand
times, and he thought there was consid-
cradle remarkability about it. He went
TO Nevada, and returned on the 10Th OF
| April. He left on or about the 5th oil
February. He met Mrs Rozelle in his
room. in her room, at the table and on
the street between December and the 9th
of February. He met Mrs. Rozelle on
the 10Th OF April in the hall, and that
was the first time he had seen her after
he came back. He met her once between
that and the 9Th of May. She was
standing in the hall, in her doorway.
On that occasion she asked him if he
had good trip, but nothing of import
ance occurred at this time. He had not
corresponded with her while gone. He
had been out walking with her in the
evening in January between the 9th and
when she took sick. She took sick later
in the month. The first time they
walked to the foundry from the boarding
house. then to College street. to the
French hospital, down several streets
and back home when she went into the
house. He was sick and laying off at
that time. He first made her acquaint-
ance in the house. She spoke to him
first. He opened the door just as she
was going out down stairs, and she said
GOOD evening"" and went out. He
answered her. He was laid off on the
10th of January He was confined to
his bed eight days. 1t was after this
he walked with her. He went to work
on the 25th of January. He walked
with Mrs. Rozelle to the foundry the
first time he walked out with cane. He
met Mrs. Rozelle that night after they
got back. After that he met her every
day while he laid off. They talked to-
gether every chance they got. The last
two conversations he had were on the
night before he went away and on the
morning he went away. He had met
her in his room as many as fifteen times
prior to the time he went walking with
her.
The Court refused to permit Mr.. Gage
TO question witness in regard to illici
intercourse with her.
Mr.. Gage then went back to the origi
nal question about ''trouble.
Witness stated that they never
had any trouble. On the
7th she said: "You told your wife'l
troubles and know you told ours.
Witness then repeated the details of the
conversation held on that day, which
took place in Mrs. Rczelle's room Wher
he went into the room on the 18th sht
put up her face and he kissed her. II,
had on the previous occasion said tina
he had as much reason to suppose sh,
might just as well tell Will as that hi
would tell other parties.
Mr.. Gage asked witness what it wa,
that she might as we'll tell Will, anC
witness refused to answer on the grount
that it would disgrace his character. Tht
Court would not permit witness to state
how many times the things occurred
which had tendency to disgrace hi
character.
Witness, continuing, said he had me-
Mrs. Rozelle between the 25th of Apri
and the It'll of May. He met her in tn,
hall or the 10Th, but there were nj
words. He met her on the morning o
the day he went away. She was sick il

she knew he would not come back, an,
he told her he would.
